The apparatus which is most promptly ;ed i* cases of burning buildings, and used STANLEY’S HARDEST BATTLE. also with the least efficacy, is the human voice, notwithstanding the historical fact that blowing has accomplished nothing since the days of Jericho. Yet there are numerous instances where fires have lieen extinguished through causes connected with their origin, ami so completely out side of precedence that they serve as in stances of the happening of the unex pected. In this connection we do not refer to the fires extinguished by auto matic sprinklers, where the result is clearly what lias been expected to happen. Notwithstanding the fact that when a fire occurs on pro}>erty protected by auto matic sprinklers, those present a vail ■hem- selves of all the means of grace in the shape of the usual fire apparatus at hand, yet there are numerous instances where fires have occurred at night or in looms vacant at the time, where the fact has been made known only by water per colating through the floors, or the sound of the automatic fire alarms, or from the sprinklers which have already come into active operation, the fire having called down means for self extinguishment. But the instances which we have in mind are those where the means of ex tinguishment were not expected,. as in the well known cathedral building in Boston, where a fire, caused by sponta neous ignition in a storeroom, melted the lead water pipes, and the water issuing from them extinguished the fire. A sim ilar instance happened in a building in Market street, Philadelphia. Some sheet metal pails were returned by the pur chaser to a tinsmith in Chester, Pa., with the complaint that they were not tightly made. The manufacturer resoldered them, and in order to test his work filled them with water and hung them upon hooks at the ceiling. While the men were at dinner during the noon hour, a fire heated the upper part of the room so that the bails connecting the handles to the pails became unsoldered, and the dropping of tne pails of water dashed out the fire. Some waste left upon the top of a steam pump at Watertown, Mass., blazed from spontaneous ignition, and this in turn set fire to the lagging around the steam cylinders and the feed pipe, where it melted the soldered attach ments of a continuous automatic oiler. The steam from the feed pipe was dis charged through the small tubes formerly leading to the oiler, and extinguished the fire. There have been numerous in stances of fires which have ceased for want of air. During the war of the re bellion attempts were made to burn New York city, as the result of a conspiracy, fires being started in ‘several hotels; but iu order to prevent premature detection the culprits closed up the rooms so tightly that the fires were smothered. At a hotel iu Woonsocket the steam pipes caused a fire in the spaces in the walls of the building, which was extinguished for want of air to support combustion. The time of the fire is unknown, as its occur rence was not discovered until sometime afterward, when in the progress of some alteration to the building the facts were made apparent. It may be interesting to know that in this instance the steam heating service was ordinarily used at a pressure of about four pounds to the square inch during the coldest weather, and that the safety valve was so arranged that the pressure could never exceed ten pounds. A spark of static electricity proceeding from a belt ignited leaking gas, and this in turn set cotton on fire, which operated the automa tic sprinklers and extinguished it. An at tempt was made to destroy a block of new dwellings at Brookline, Mass., before the buildings were entirely finished. Some people, alarmed by the smoke which was seen in each division of the structure, rushed in to save doors and portable fixtures, when it was noticed that the fires did not appear to gain any headway, and when the smoke had en tirely died away, it was found that the incendiary had,placed lighted candles in sawdust and other inflammable material in drawers and closets, but with such limited supplies of air that combustion could not be supported and the fires be came smothered. —Engineering. HUNTING IN THE ALPS. T1k> Denunciation of 'Noise. “I can bear tlie heat very well, ’’ said a student forced to spend a summer in the city, ‘’but I cannot endure the noise.’ Poleibly ho did not stop to consider that in making such a declaration, he placed hiujself in illustrious company. Thoma Cajiyle ‘ ‘could not abide’ ’ a noise, espe- ciatjy that of the morning crowing of coigis. Wallenstein, accustomed as he wan to the din of battle, had an uncon querable dread of the harking of dogs, and even the clatter of the large spurs fa&ionable in his day. In order to in sure quiet, he engaged twelve patrols to make regular circuits about iiis house night and day. Neither Julius Csesar nor the philoso pher, Kant, could tolerate the crowing of poor chanticleer, who, indeed, seems to have very few friends among the studi ous and sensitive. Schopenlumer exceeds almost all lovers of quiet in the extrava gance of his denunciation of noise. lie declares that the amount which a man can bear with ease is in inverse ratio to liisjnental power. “If I hear a dog barking for hours on the threshold of a house.” be writes, "I know well enough wliat kind of brains I may expect from its inhabitants.”— Youth's Companion. Tk« Graphic Story a Native Tells of an Attack oa the Explorer. The bloodiest and most furious battle Stanley had with the Congo natives dur ing his first descent of that river was with the Ba-Ngala. Everybody has read his graphic account of that combat, in which sixty-four canoes loaded with the fiercest of Congo fighters were precipi tated into the little band of travelers, and bad not spears been pitted against In e- arms Stanley’s party would never have reached the sea. A while ago Mu&e, one of the officers of the chief of the Ba- N!,-ala, gave to Capt. Coquilhat t.ie na tive version of that memorable day. The white men on the Congo bring home few stories that surpass in interest those the natives tell of the time when the un known whites first came among them, and of the commotion these strangers, with their wonderful trade goods and their still more astonishing weapons, everywhere produced. “We had never seen a white man,” said Muele, whose tribe, thickly populat in'’ the river bank for many miles, num bers over 100,000 people. “We had not the slightest idea that such beings ex isted. One day, some dozen moons ago [it was on Feb. 14, 1877], at the moment when the sun stood right above our heads, a flotilla of canoes of a form we had never seen before, pre ceded by a canoe of extraor dinary size, suddenly came into view. In the swiftest part of the current they were quietly passing in front of our villages. We were astonished to see that the men, even to their heads, were cov ered with white cloths, and we thought it very singular, for the richest chiefs we knew wore only a little rag made of banana fiber; and a fact that was abso lutely new to us, and that upset all our notions of humanity, was the sight of two white beings, yes, as white as our pottery clay, who appealed to command the expedition They seemed to have about the same form as other men, but their hair, their eyes and their color were very strange to us. ‘ ‘We asked one another, Were not these men envoys from Ibanza, the mysterious spirit, and why did they so suddenly ap pear upon our river? Their purpose could onlv be bad, for suddenly they landed on an island opposite us, instead of coming to our shore, as all jieople did whose in tentions were not hostile. At first, before we were able to see them distinctly, we thought they were an expedition from our enemies of Mobeka. Our alarm drums sounded, and we crowded to our canoes, all ready for a fight. But the clothing of the warrors, the strange form of their weapons, and the unheard of aspect of the white men soon undeceived us. Still, we launched our canoes and rapidly approached those of the unknown strangers. “The older of the two white men had straight gray hair, and his eyes were the color of the water. He stood upon bis canoe and held toward us a red cloth and some brass wire. We still approached him, discussing excitedly the meaning of his strange attitude. The other white man [Frank Pocock, who was drowned a few weeks later in the cararacts of the lower Congo] aimed Ins weapon at us, and the older man talked to him rapidly in a language we could not understand. Those of our friends who were nearest the strangers thought the actions of the white men boded us no good, and so they judged it best at once to fittack these mysterious whites, who had come from no one knew where. Then the battle began, and it was the most terrible we ever fought. Our spears fell fast among the enemy and we killed some. of them, and their bodies lay half over the sides of their canoes. But. oh, wliat fetich gave their weapons such won derful power? Their bullets, made of a heavy gray metal we had never seen before, reached us at enormous distances. Women and old men who were following the combat from the shore were hit. The walls of our huts were perforated. Some goats which were wandering far oiT in the fields dropped dead of their wounds. As for us who were on the water, our stout shields were pierced as though they had been bananas. Many of us were killed and wounded and others were drowned, for the bullets knocked holes in some of our wooden canoes, which filled and sank. Stiil we kept fighting desperately, and we followed the white beings some distance below our vil lages. Their band finally escaped us and raised loud cries of triumph as we ended the pursuit. We could not understand what they said.” Made added that Mata Bulke, the chief of the Ba-Ngala. exerted every effort to dissuade iiis ardent people from approaching the whites, who, he de clared. could not be human beings. It was this same chief who, three years ago tlii^month, wept as lie bade farewell to Capt. Coquilhat. the founder of the Ba- Ngala station, who was about to go back to Europe. “Return soon,” he said, “for I am old, and I wish to see you again before I die.” A few days over a year later Coquilhat was again among tlie Ba- Ngala, who, with their powerful and aged chief, are now among the most faithful and useful friends of the whites. —New York Sun. The Dangers of Chamois Stalking“*Shoot* ing the Auerhahn. In reality Alpine sport is considerably tamer than the passing tourist usually supposes. Chamois stalking, though the few who practice it declare it to be the most exciting of all pastimes, is for the most part, at least in Austria, left en tirely to the poachers. The physical ex ertion it requires, the dangers it involves and the rarity, or rather the entire want ,vick,Ga. slay, isri a sv for a number'.: ,vs over my ht-a 'o f stanch and well trained hounds, ac- and body and Icouid ^et ranking to iieaG iu-: I ui, ouwivii « „ , .... or purify my blood (tliougu I : tied othci count for this. Both the chamois and the roe are driven, but in a way suited to the character of the country and im possible on an English estate. Long before dawn the guests who are jnuited fo take part in a chamois hunt assemble at an appointed place. Then the steep climb into the valley which is to be the scene of operations begins. When the proper positions are reached, the head forester assigns to each of the guests a place near one of the passes the .nrom’u ‘ira iifcplv to f Li Iff A All fcheSG A WORD IN SEASON.

All these ambushes are hidden from the heights above by rocks or hushes, and they are always from three to four hundred, usu ally more than a thousand, feet apart. When once a sportsman lias been placed he is expected to remain where lie is as silently as he can. He must not leave his post on any account, as this might not only disturb the drive, but endanger his own life. At about the same time as the hunting party leave their rendezvous a party of drivers accom panied by dogs start from the other side of the mountain range. The noise they make frightens the chamois over the crest and, if the parties have been i roperly organized, into the valley, where a warm welcome has been prepared for them. Except in very rare cases, those who are posted above are expected to let the herd pass before shooting, in order not to spoil the sport of their friends below. The huntsmen must, of course, always be placed so that the wind blows toward and not from them. Roe are for the most part shot in a similar way. though roe stalking is by no means un usual. Auerhahn stalking is a far more excit ing and peculiarly Alpine form of sport, and it is the favorite recreation of the emperor of Austria. It is only in the mating season, roughly speaking in April and May, that it is permitted. The cock is generally the most timid and cautious of birds; but at this season he becomes a victim of passion, and loses his head—at least at intervals. At dawn he flies to a spot which he knows to be frequented by the hens, perches upon an exposed bough, so that all the charms of his plumage may be seen, and begins his nuptial song. It consists of three distinct parts, with a short pause between each; and, while piping it, the cock extends his feathers and beats upon the bough with Ins wings. At such times he seems utterly unconscious of everything that goes on around him. This is the sportsman’s opportunity; he has taken Iiis place be fore dawn near a spot which he knows to be frequented and concealed himself in the best cover be can find. As soon as the bird begins its call, which is techni cally known as its balz, he springs for ward to some nearer cover in which he can lie silently in wait during the first pause; while the second strain is in pro gress lie must reach a jxiint near enough to take good aim. An Alpine sportsman would no more think of shooting an Auerhahn in any other way than an English squire would think of shooting a fox. In the greater part of the country the hens are legally protected during the whole of the year: they have a .peculiar erv, which some foresters successfully imitate for the purpose of luring their mates.—Saturday Review. called medicinesi until I annul I'm! nu'^t va - liable medicine .Botanic Ido- d Balm) !!.

In any large and highly organized com munity there must always be a consider able number of people whose duties or circumstances are such as to destroy the character of home as a suitable place for educational training. In Great Britain, for instance, military and naval officers, with Indian, diplomatic and colonial officials, cannot look forward to having their children educated under their own eyes. Men in political life, distracted by the excitements of their work, and usu ally migrating from country to town with the legislative seasons, are scarcely better off. The preference of the landed pro prietors of England for living on their ow.n estates involves educational isola tion. and makes it necessary that boys should be sent away for training Here we have already a very large body of people for whom the public school, with its provision for home care, as well as mental training, is practically a necessity. A larger question of ex- j pettier) cy stiil remains. The sons of the j wealthy very seldom get a fair chance j for training in their own homes. Lux- | ury, social distractions, the excessive en vironment of dependents, all militate against mental industry and moral tone. It is this consideration which leads the avera boy and steadier discipline of the public school.—George R. Parkin in The Cen- turv. At i-j-iit could not slt-t-p for the excriR-iatiug pain.
